Kat Von D, the gorgeous redhead above doesn’t like want people judging based on looks. She’s afraid Jesse James‘ mistress Michelle McGee is being judged based on the fact that she’s covered in tattoos.

Can we judge them on the fact that their pants are too tight? What in the world is she wearing!? Ok back to the topic at hand…

“You can’t judge a book by its cover,” the L.A. Ink star told UsMagazine.com at the Gay & Lesbian Center’s An Evening With Women: Celebrating Art, Music and Equality party in Beverly Hills Saturday.

“I think there has always been a negative stigma surrounding tattoos, especially on women,” continued Von D, 28. “But to me, it is all about how you carry yourself, and some people carry it differently, I guess. For me, I just want to be a positive example of tattooing.

She doesn’t think it’s fair to say that McGee’s tattooed look had anything to do with her affair with James. (McGee bares a striking resemblance to James’ ex wife, porn star Janine Lindemulder.)

“There have been many cases in the past that have been fully exploited where people have affairs and then they have absolutely no tattoos, so if we were to sit there and dissect that, that would be pointless and very time consuming,” she said.

I don’t think we need to judge her on the fact that she’s covered in tattoos. The fact that she slept with a married man, then sold her story is all the ammo we need!
